6 mm. long, narrowly triangular-lanceolate, acute, slightly 
shorter than the pedicellate ovary, spreading. Pedicel with 
the ovary 7 mm. long. Lateral sepals 5-6 mm. long, 2 mm. 
- wide, oblong, obtuse, 3-nerved, rounded at the base, re- 
^ curved. Dorsal sepal about 5 mm. long, 1.25 mm. wide, 
i" similar to the lateral sepals. Petals up to 5.5 mm. long, 
• .75 mm. wide, linear. Labellum 7 mm. long, obliquely as¬ 
cending from a cuneate obscurely cordate base, 4.5 mm. 
wide near the tip, sharply dellexed above the middle, 
margin minutely glandular, deeply bilobulate at the tip, 
sometimes with an apicule between the lobules, margin of 
the lobules unequally denticulate. Disc with a keel on each 
side near the base. Column 3 mm. long, slender, arching 
forward, dilated at the base and at the apex. 
Closely allied to Liparis trichoglottis (Ames) Schltr., 
from which it differs in the diphyllous pseudobulbs and in 
the margin of the labellum being inconspicuously glandular. 
I The texture of the flowers recalls Liparis latifolia Lindl.
